Permaculture principle 5: Use and value Renewable Resources and Services - Ride you bike! Sit under a tree to stay cool! Employ a chicken to cultivate your garden! Generate your own methane for gas power! Walk more! "Colonel Ominous Forecast" has more...
lyrics
We’re running out of oil
It’s going to be hard to live
If we don’t find some alternatives to oil
Because pretty much everything we do uses oil
Let me list some of the things made with oil
There’s computers, light bulbs, toothpaste
Cat food, dog food, our food
Microwaves, umbrellas, blankets, glasses, crayons
Fridges, pharmaceuticals, houses
Trucks and boats and planes and clothes
And roads and phones and shops and farms
And your auntie’s underpants
If we don’t find a solution we won’t have them anymore
Because pretty soon will be no more oil
We don’t need cars, well we didn’t in my day
Maybe now we do
But we could also walk, use bicycles and ride horses
Instead of oil and coal and uranium
Use clean, renewable resources
Like the sun
It has heaps of energy
Beaming down for free
Feeding plants and trees
Make use of these kind of natural forces
And use clean, renewable resources
Why mine gas? Seems silly to me
When you can make your own
From the comfort of your throne with a methane digester
The future of energy is in predominantly biological processes
So be a clean, renewable investor
Use and value clean, renewable, clean, renewable
Clean, renewable services and resources
Once again
Clean, renewable, clean, renewable
Clean, renewable services and resources
It’s time to do away with fossil fuels and just get back to the soil
Cos let’s face it, it’s the end of oil
Yes, let’s face it, it’s the end of oil
We might as well face it
It’s the end of oil
